During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 803 Office Hymn: Big Trouble Has Arrived - Xiao Meiniang's Allure
"Mr. Wei, the contract with Ali has been signed, and the funds have been received. In addition, they will be holding a press conference in a few days to announce the project launch of 'Three Lives Three Worlds,' and we would like to invite you to attend."

In the chairman's office of Shanhe Building, Zhong Lifang, dressed in a business suit, spoke with a touch of emotion.

Some expressed admiration for Ali's wealth and generosity, while others praised their boss's foresight.

She never imagined that a novel that had not yet been tested by the market could sell its copyright for a record-breaking 1.2 million yuan!
She even felt that if she had quoted a higher price initially, Ahri might have been able to grit her teeth and accept it, and now she was actually a little regretful.

"I won't be going to the press conference. You can attend in my place. After all, you're a big customer and deserve our VIP treatment, hahaha."

Wei Jin's tone was full of sarcasm. He said, "Consider this money as payment for the time when Boss Ma poached our employees half a year ago."

Of course, Wei Jin was also aware that as a listed company, Ali Pictures would mostly be paid for by the consumers, but so what?
"Okay, I'll go see how they do it and learn from their experience. Judging from Zhang Qiang's words, this press conference will definitely be the highest-profile one on the entire internet."

Moreover, from the very beginning of the project, it needs to be known across the entire internet, keeping fans and netizens on the edge of their seats with constant attention and suspense.

Zhong Lifang understood that this was just a marketing ploy by internet companies, but as someone with a marketing background, she was still quite interested in it.

But Wei Jin cautioned, "Studying is fine, but don't let them brainwash you; we won't need that."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I know. If there's nothing else, I'll head out now?"

"it is good."

After Zhong Lifang left, Bao Tianqi, who had remained silent the whole time, decisively locked the door from the inside, and then swayed his slender waist as he walked towards Wei Jin.

"Boss, we've made a fortune again, shall we celebrate?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Jin smiled, pulled the assistant into his arms, took control of the situation with one hand, and caressed the black-stockinged legs with the other.

"Tianqi, are you celebrating or asking for a share of the profits? I've only earned a little over 100 million, and you want to take several hundred million. Do you think that's fair?"

Bao Tianqi licked his alluring red lips, his eyes filled with seductive charm, "Then boss, do you want to share it with them?"

"Alright, you little slut, the boss will satisfy you today."

Wei Jin kicked off the desk with both feet, and Bao Tianqi took the opportunity to get off him, unbuttoned his shirt, and squatted down.

"Hiss~~ Ugh~~"

Enjoying the all-encompassing comfort from above, Mr. Wei let out a long sigh of relief, and then turned his attention to the film market.

It must be acknowledged that the drawbacks of fan-made films are quite obvious and unavoidable.

The trajectory of "Tiny Times 4" was exactly the same as the first three films in the series, and even worse.

After raking in 1.62 million yuan in box office revenue in the first two days, the weekend box office revenue dropped instead of increasing, plummeting from 60 million yuan per day to 40 million yuan and then to 20 million yuan.

Once it entered weekdays, the decline was even more dramatic. On just the fifth day of its release, the daily revenue had already fallen below five million, and the total box office was only 2.48 million.

Clearly, having lost a large number of fans of the male lead, coupled with infighting among the fans of the main actors, this series fizzled out very quickly in its finale.

Forget about the 500 million target now; I doubt we can even get past the 300 million mark.

"Gardenia in Blossom," another youth-themed film, is equally impressive.

After raking in 1.58 million in the first three days, the earnings plummeted on the fourth day, with daily earnings dropping to six million.

According to Wei Jin's estimate, the film's final box office will likely stop at 2 million yuan.

This also proves the fact that after two or three years of overproduction, the market capacity for youth films has become increasingly smaller, and audiences are becoming less and less accepting.

Aside from fans, it's hard to find any other viewers willing to pay for it, since there aren't that many fools around.

In contrast, Seattle 2, with its strong word-of-mouth, can be described as a steady and solid success.

Not only did the daily box office revenue remain at a high level of 90 million over the weekend, but it also remained at around 70 million on weekdays.

After four days in theaters, "Seattle 2" has grossed over 3 million yuan, reaching 3.43 million yuan.

This trend is no less impressive than that of "Bad Genius," the only difference being that the competition is even fiercer.

As for Chen's novel "The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain"?
Sorry, aside from the backlash caused by the love letter "To You", the box office of this movie has really been declining all the way down.

After 11 days in theaters, the total box office has only reached 260 million yuan, but the daily box office has dropped below 5 million yuan. It is hard to say whether it can break through the 300 million yuan mark.

"If it weren't for the Dragon Prince, things might be a little better?"

After making a remark, Wei Jin put down his phone and patted his assistant, who had been working hard for a long time.

The latter immediately understood, got up, and leaned on the desk, waiting for happiness to arrive.

Reaching out to lift the hem of her pencil skirt, Wei Jin saw the dark stockings, already mottled and worn, and couldn't help but make a teasing remark.

"It seems Tianqi has really been enduring a lot of hardship. But no pain, no gain. With this kind of willpower, he's sure to make a fortune today."

After speaking, Wei Jin exerted force with both hands, and with a "rip" sound, the black silk was torn apart.

With a casual flick of the tangled cloth, Wei Jin, holding the camera with one hand and reaching forward with the other to grip the steering wheel, drove straight in.

"Hmm~~"

In the blink of an eye, July is already halfway over, and another summer blockbuster, "Monster Hunt," has been released.

This fantasy blockbuster, which boasts an investment of 3.5 million yuan and is comparable to "Shrek", seems to be highly regarded by theaters, with an average screening rate of nearly 40%, making it the best-selling film during the summer season!

The media did the same; from the morning onwards, various promotional press releases flooded the media, making it seem as if they were poised to become the summer blockbuster.

However, later in the afternoon, a sudden news item dominated the headlines, with the entire film and entertainment industry watching the spectacle of Chen Shiren's situation.

What's that saying again? Right, good fortune never comes in pairs, but misfortunes never come singly.

The box office performance of "Monk Comes Down the Mountain" was already dismal, but misfortune never comes singly. Following the censorship controversy, Chen Shiren has run into another major problem.

Moreover, the troublemakers this time are not ordinary movie fans or netizens with little influence, but the Taoist Association!

A statement issuing a stern condemnation of director Chen Kaige has once again thrust the already doomed film "Monk Comes Down the Mountain" and director Chen himself into the spotlight!

The announcement, which was over a thousand words long, was eloquent, sharp-tongued, emotionally charged, and even indignant, leaving no room for the Palme d'Or-winning director to save face!
In particular, the announcement addressed several of the questions raised by Director Chen, which hit the nail on the head! "The first thing the protagonist does after leaving the mountain is to rob and eat meat. This fundamentally deviates from the basic moral standards of our sect and is a malicious attempt to vilify the image of Taoism. What are Director Chen's intentions and purpose?"

"The protagonist is a member of the Taoist family, but after killing in the movie, he doesn't seek forgiveness from his master. Instead, he goes to a temple to repent to the monks and seek solace. What is Director Chen's intention? Is he perhaps suppressing Taoism and promoting Buddhism?!"

"."

Such sharp words and sudden condemnation instantly attracted attention across the entire internet.

The online public opinion overwhelmingly supports the announcement's demands for a complete removal of "Monk Comes Down the Mountain" from theaters and for Chen Shiren and the production company to issue a public apology in order to eliminate all the negative impacts the film has had on Taoism.

"I already cursed him online before; he's definitely up to no good."

"An apology is necessary! Not only to the entire online audience, but also to [the person in question]!"

"Where are you? Stop playing dead! Weren't you sending love letters just a few days ago? Now you're all silent?"

"I seriously suspect this guy is a Buddhism fanatic who specializes in belittling Taoism. The original text is nowhere near like this."

"."

In contrast to the outcry online, the film and television industry and relevant departments have all fallen silent.

Those who used to fawn over him are now trembling with fear.

There was no way around it; this manifesto was indeed too sharp, especially with the accusation of "promoting Buddhism and suppressing Taoism" being leveled against it. No one dared to plead for them, and they even avoided it like the plague!
"Great, Poet Chen is definitely finished now. Let's see if he'll still be so arrogant."

In the bedroom of the villa in Yanjiao, Bai Bin, who had just received hundreds of millions of yuan in investment from Boss Wei, was browsing news online with considerable excitement.

Although she had no connection with the poet Chen, she had a good relationship with Liu Yan. Over the years, they had become closer than sisters.

Because of her affection for Liu Yan, she had absolutely no goodwill towards this Palme d'Or-winning director who had once "reprimanded" her!

In her view, anything related to this kind of issue is a big deal and definitely needs to be dealt with; who knows, it might even lead to... well, you know.

As a result, the flush on her face, which had not yet faded, seemed to deepen even further.

Unfortunately, Mr. Wei poured cold water on her hopes, shaking his head as he took control of the situation.

"Xiao Bai, you're overthinking it. Poet Chen's connections are not simple; it's impossible for him to be finished."

"An apology is necessary, isn't it? They said that if there isn't a public apology, they'll sue."

Bai Bin continued to argue, somewhat indignantly, "Even if it's just to see Poet Chen get his comeuppance, it's fine."

But her boss, whom she trusted implicitly, still gave a negative answer.

"That's impossible. Not only would Chen Shiren's arrogant personality make it impossible for him to admit his mistake, but even if he had such a plan, certain people would definitely not allow it."

"Why?"

Bai Bin was filled with questions, while at that moment, Wang Zixuan, who had finished cleaning up the mess, looked up and smiled slightly.

"Xiaobai, you're blinded by a single leaf. Think about it, this show has already passed censorship. If anyone should apologize, who should apologize?"

Bai Bin suddenly realized, "Yes, if Poet Chen apologizes under pressure, does that mean those people are also wrong? Is that possible?"
"But such a big thing, is it just going to pass like this?"

"More or less. Poet Chen probably won't refute it, he'll keep quiet, and we can discuss it privately later. At worst, we can just take the movie off the screens."

"That's too good for him."

Seeing Bai Bin pouting and looking indignant, Wei Jin found it quite amusing.

He couldn't help but pull her hot, delicate body closer to his chest, teased Little Grape with his hand, and said gently, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tonight is a farewell dinner for Sister Zixuan, let's have some fun."

Besides, Poet Chen has already been thoroughly humiliated; for someone as proud as him, it's a huge loss of face.

"That's true."

As Xiao Bai calmed down, Boss Wei did not neglect Wang Zixuan. He took advantage of her significant strength and continued to manipulate the current situation.

"Zixuan, the company has arranged accommodation and a dedicated canteen for this filming trip to the film studio. The living conditions will definitely be good."

However, your role this time involves a lot of action scenes and equestrian stunts, so please be careful and don't get injured. Otherwise, your boss will be very worried.

Even though she was over thirty, Wang Zixuan was very pleased with Wei Jin's concern. She nestled her face in his arms and whispered, "Boss, don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

Wang Zixuan actually had something else to say: she was still waiting to have a child for her boss and would never take her own body lightly.

But Bai Bin, standing to the side, felt a little jealous, and pouted her alluring lips again, "Boss, you're being unfair. You didn't care about me this much when I was filming."

"Who said that? The boss has always liked Xiaobai, especially your sweet talk, it's unforgettable."

After Wei Jin finished speaking, he lifted Bai Bin's chin and kissed her, his large hands roaming over the girl's hot, delicate body.

Honestly, among the assistants, Bai Bin best fits the aesthetic standards of the Wei and Jin dynasties.

Whether it's her figure, her looks, or her classic charm, she's absolutely stunning, and her shelf life is exceptionally long.

In his past life, when he read "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties," he was completely captivated by the alluring and seductive Xiao Meiniang.

At this moment, Wang Zixuan, who had rested for a while, took to the stage again, her red lips tracing a path down Wei Jin's chest until they gently enveloped him.

Clearly, 33-year-old Wang Zixuan knew that after this night, it would probably be several more months before she could regain her boss's favor, so she had to hurry.

Similarly, Bai Bin understood this principle. His boss had too many women around him, and being able to benefit from his good sister's presence tonight was a rare opportunity that he couldn't miss.

So while responding enthusiastically, her little hands were also restlessly wandering over Wei Jin and herself.

As we all know, you can feel something when you touch yourself, let alone with Mr. Wei's superb skills.
So by the time the kiss ended, Bai Bin's pretty face was already flushed, and her gaze towards Wei Jin was almost drooling, just like Xiao Meiniang's.

"Boss~ I want it~~"
